What is CPG retail logistics?
CPG retail logistics is the specialized management of freight moving from consumer packaged goods brands to distributor and retail distribution centers. It covers every step between your production facility and the dock door: transportation, compliance, routing-guide adherence, appointment scheduling, and OTIF delivery performance.
In Southern California, that means navigating UNFI and KeHE distribution centers and the natural grocery network concentrated across the Los Angeles Basin, Inland Empire, and San Diego corridor, alongside the region's port operations. Fr8topia's CPG retail logistics services are built specifically for this environment, with the local knowledge and compliance expertise brands need to protect their retailer relationships and avoid costly deductions.

End-to-end coverage from the production line to the retailer's dock, across Southern California and beyond.
Truckload (TL) to retail DCs
Full truckload delivery to major distributor and retailer DCs across Southern California and statewide, with appointment scheduling and routing-guide compliance handled.
LTL freight for CPG brands
Less-than-truckload for smaller shipments to regional retailers. We place your freight with top-rated LTL carriers covering every lane in the market.
Drayage from LA and Long Beach
Container pickup and delivery from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to CPG warehouses and DCs throughout the region.
